Ravindra Jadeja probably had been dreaming for this day since he made his debut for Indian in Test cricket. It took him 8 years to score his first international ton which became a part of India’s highest total against West Indies in Test cricket. A ball after the veteran left-arm spinner reached this feat, India declared the innings at 649/9.
It was a dream outing for Jadeja at his home ground. He came to bat after a 133-run partnership between Kohli and Rishabh pant was broken by Devendra Bishoo. While wickets kept falling at regular intervals, Jadeja presented some extraordinary piece of batting and posted 50 runs in 87 balls.
With his 10th fifty, there came out the epic sword which he waved in the air.
After his fifty, Jaddu pulled up his socks and began approaching his hundred. Within next 45 balls, Jadeja those much-needed fifty runs to became one India’s century scoring batsmen. He converted his 10th fifty into his maiden century after which he jumped in the air to celebrate the moment.
Jadeja remained unbeaten on 100. He hit 5 fours and as many sixes to accomplish his dream.
